An exercise group called Queen City Dance Out has fun classes all over the city. I’m a big fan of Zumba and haven’t posted much from the West side of town so thought I’d share this one in particular. (See their full schedule here.) The Zumba class at Bette Rae Thomas Recreation Center is every Saturday. The cost is $10 for a one time drop in session or you can purchase discounted passes to attend 5, 10 or 20 classes.

Where: 2921 Tuckaseegee Road Charlotte, NC

Why: Zumba is the most fun I have ever experienced to build up my core, legs, arms and cardio. Also, you might learn a dance move or two.
